The wrong is in taking it from the people ; H.nd it is a wrong difficult to correct.

Mr. Tilden is out in a recent letter in which he recommends that the surplus money be appropriated to strengthening our coast defenses. He alleges what is no doubt true, that with the improved naval armament of the present clay, our coast cities, Boston, New York, Philadel phia, Baltimore, Norfolk, Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah, New Orleans, and those on the Pacific, are practically with out defense. It is no doubt an important suggestion, but can it be done ? and what will it cost ? Mr. Tildeu does not answer either of these questions. If we could build a mountain several hundred feet high in the harbor of each of these cities, and mount on them guns large enough to carry shot of a ton's weight to the dis tance of ten miles, perhaps we would balk science and art for eight or ten years, and we should then have to try something else. Anything of real practical value would certainly absorb all the surplus money and i n i 1 1 ions besides. Money spent in this way might minister to the national pride, but add littlo to our strength. A nation's greatest security is in the right eousness of jts government, without which curses are sure to come. But we agree with our cotemporary that the reduction of the tariff and public expenses are subjects which should en gross, the time and best efforts of Con grosmcn: The toiling millions of the country, whose hearts sicken at the end pf each year, when they cast up accounts and balance books, demand it. Cut down expenses, reduce the tariff, and leave the money in the prickets of the people w here it pfptKJriy belongs, and a work of simple justice will be performed , such the people have a right to expect, and one which Congres.. has for years most un justly denied them.

Housekeepers, shopmen, merchants of all sorts-, indeed,! every class of people tan testify to tlie trouble which almost daily result from the neglectful habit of jersons about them who fail to observe this simple rule. Things of frequent use are carried away from the place to which they belong and left lying where last used. When want ed, they are not in their place ; then com mences a vexatious search, and everyone perhaps is asked where is the hammer, the scissors, the tackclaw, the gimlet , screw drivers or whatever else H may be that is out of place, and nobody knows. The search goes on until all concerned arc disturbed about it not because it is so valuable, but because it is needed at that very moment and nothing else will do in place of it. . j . Have yon never known serious trouble to arise from such causes? Fretful tem pers often give way under such important trifles, if the expression may be used, and sometimes say and do things which a mo ment before was far from their hearts or minds and all yes, ail the result of the thoughtless act of some one who has fail ed to return the tool or implement used to the place where it belongs.

The Panama Canal was a grand con edition, but there is now no room to X doubt that a great mistake was made in estimating the cost. M. Dc Lesscps' cal culations will fall far short of the amount recmircd to complete it. Only one-thir tieth of the dredging, and one-fiftieth of the rock cutting has been done, and that at the cost of $120,000,000. Expert en gineers say the whole cost of the work cannot be less than $550,000,000. And it is therefore apparent that years of time must be added to those already expendec on it before those who put their money into it can ever see it coming back. Let Congress take up the Eads project of ship railroad and the work will be in use before the end of the present decade. Pyrophore.

Faggof this city had challeng ed the fanners of the 9th congressional district on a yield of wheat from three acres. At the suggestion of farmers down the W. N. C. R. B., he extends the chal lenge to all farmers as far down and in cluding Bowan count v. There are a great many fine wheat growers in. coun ties east of the Bulge, and we trust not less than fifty will enter the contest. Quite a number have already put in their names. Send in your name and address to Capt. Fagg or the editor of this paper, that you may be registered in due time. As soon as possible, it is desired to have a meeting, or come to some understanding with each other as to what the premium shall be. If you have anything like a good field from which a three acre lot could be measured, send in your name. and enter the contest. We hope to hear from a great many of those large wheat growers in Catawba, Iredell, Bowan and other good wheat growing counties. This kind of friendly rivalry in the production of crops, will do much toward keeping up an interest in the daily work, and do much toward stimulating farmers to always make as much as possible on their farms. Country Homes, Hickory, N. C. Those of the farmers of Bowan who de sire to enter this contest should send their names at once. Some of the wheat raisers say that they have only pitched the usual crops in the usual way, and that a contest would hardly be fair this year, while others who had this thiug in yicw, made special preparations. But take it as it comes, three or five acres of the best in fields, Bowan will measure with any of the counties. Two wheeled vehicles are likoly to come into general use again. Walter C.

There is con- lumbia, It was a delicate duty requiring sideraWe opposition to him. however, an armed force, but happily successful. among those who will decide i he quest ion. A Republican Senator said: I would !olt Edmunds for two reasons first his attitude in the last campaign, and second ly because of his uncalled for decisiou during the Presidential count." Senator Edmunds held that the President of the Senate could exercise no judicial function during the count "Whether right or wrong," continued the disaffected sena tor, "it was merely an expression of opin ion, which any Senator might have made, but being made at that particular time ami in that particular way, it will always be quoted as a precedent." The revision of the rules will be the first subject brought to the attention of . . . . ... . . . . the House, ana tnen some oui provming for the succession of the Cabinet officers to the Presidency will have early atten tion. But the great features of the win ter's session will be the silver question, the tariff, and civil service reform. There is a marked contrast between the situation now and that of the week pre ceding the opening of the 48th Congress. At that time Bepresentatives Carlisle, Randall, Springer, and Cox were actively engaged in a contest for the Speakership. Rival candidates for the position of Clerk, Sergeant-at-Arms, Doorkeeper, House Postmaster, etc.. were busy with their canvasses. Each arriving Congressman was button-holed. Now Mr. Carlisle is conceded a re-eleotion without question or opposition. Mr. Cox is on duty in far away Turkey. Mr. Springer is enthusi astic over his plan for revising the House rules, and the distinguished head of the Appropriations committee is devoting his time to financial literature, at his quiet home on Capitol hill. The last important appointment made by the President gives great pleasure to the Democrats of the District of Colum bia. It was the Marshalship of the Dis trict, and Col. Albert Wilson, a well know'ii Democratic citizen of Washington, is the man. He was born within a few squares of the White House forty-five years ago, and has always lived in this city. Last evening he stood in his cozy parlor, and received a stream of friends who called to congratulate him His offiec is considered the most valua ble Federal office in the District. Its compensation is restricted by Congress to $b,000 a year, any excess over that amount from the fees of the office being turned in to the Treasury. The patronage of the office consists of a deputy at $3,000, a chief bailitt at $1,400, another at $l,o00, and several at $ 1,100 each. 1 he ofhee had come m recent years to be so closely associated with the President personally, and with the social ceremo nies at the White House that it was ex pected to be filled by a friend of the Pi es ident. The selection of a Marshal who is identified with the locality could not but be acceptable to the Democracy of the District. There is a gradual removal of the Re publican clerks in the Departments here. Men and women have drawn salaries month after month in Washington under past administrations without working for them. Old Department records will show this. If the neonle knew how manv worthless clerks thev havo supported here, without receiving any work in re turn tor their money, ,thcv would lc as tonished.

A EXHAUSTIVE DOCUMEXT--OUR INTER NAL AND EXTERNAL POLICY REVIEWED, WITH SUGGESTIONS THEREON THE MON EY QUESTION SUSPENSION OF SILVER COINAGE RECOMMENDED, ETC. Washington, D. C. ) Dec. 8, 1885. ) 7b the Congress of the United States : Yourissembling is clouded by a sense of public bereavement, caused by the re cent and sudden death of Thomas A. Hen dricks, Vice-President of the United States. His distinguished nnblic services. his completo integrity and devotion to every duty, and his personal virtues will fitod honorable record in his countrv's listory. Ample and repeated proof of the es teem and confidence in which be wns ield by his fellow countrymen, were man- lesieu Dy nis election to ollices of the most important trust, aud highest digni ty, and at length, full of years and of honors, he has been laid at rest amid uni versal sorrow and benediction. AT THE THRESHOLD. .The constitution which requires those chosen to legislate for the people to an nually meet in the discharging of their solemn trust, also requires the President to give to the Congress information of the State of tho Union and recommend to their consideration such messages as he shall deem necessary and expedient. At thothreshold of a compliance with those constitutional directions, it is well for us to bear in mind that our usefulness to the the people's interests will bo promoted by a constant appreciation of the scope and character of our respective duties as they Mate to the Federal legislation. While the executive may recommend such meas ures as he shall deem expedient, the re sponsibility for legislative action Inust and should rest upon those selected by he people to make their laws. ; Contemplation of the grave and respon sible functions assigned to the respective constitution will disclose the partitions of branches ot the government under J tho power between our respective depart ments and their necessary independence, and also the need for tlie exercise of all the power entrusted to each in that spirit of comity and co-operation whicIPis es sential to the proper fulfillment of the patriotic obligations which rest upon us as faithful servants of the people. . The jealous watch fulness of our constit uencies, great and small, supplements weir sunrages, ana before tlie tribunal Ihey establish every public servant should be judged. The President thep proceeds to say that me reiaiions ot the united States with all foreign powers continues to be friendly, there being no question of difficulty with anyof them, The Argentine government has revived the long dormant question of the Falk land Islands by claiming indemnity for a U. 8. ship's breaking up a piratical colony on inose lsianas in 1831 1 out our govern ment considers the claim wholly ground less. He says he could not gratify the Aus-tro-Hungary government by recalling Minister Keiley, who it seems, was per sonally unacceptable to them, without violating his oath of Office. That Mr. Keiley has resigned the office, which is now vacant, the interests of the govern ment, meanwhilCi being in the care ot'the Secretary of the legation, acting as charge u-.ajratre au interim, I he fricudJy cfiices of the government contributed largely to the rcstorat ion of i 1 u il i tt x d .i 1 4 ! 1 oke o t in March last ivar This government also rendered valua- ine i rooiuem, is opposeu 10 entangling alliances with foreign countries and thinks the government should adhere to the an cient maxim on this subject.- . AN IMrOIiTANT QUESTION. Pending these occurrences a question of much importance was presentecrly the decrees of the Columbian government, proclaiming the closure of certain "ports then in the hands of the insurgents, and declaring vessels held by the revolution ists to be piratical and liable to capture by any power. To neither of these prop ositions could Jthe United States assent. An effective closure of port1 not in the possession of the government, but held by hostile partisans, could not be recoguissea. Neither could the vessels of the insur gents against, the legitimate sovereignty be deemed Itostea humwii generis within the precepts of hittmiational law, what ever might be the definition and penaltv ot their acts under the municipal law of the Stato against whose authority they were in revolt. The denial by this gov ernment of the Columbian propositions did not, however, imply the admission of a belligerent status ou the part of the insurgents. The Columbian government has ex pressed its willingness to negotiate con ventions for the adjustment by arbitra tion of claims by foreign citizens arising out ot the destruction of the city of As pinWaB by the insurrectionary forces. IMPORTANCE 01 THE 18T1IMUS TRANSIT. l ne interest ot the united btates in a practicable transit for ships across the strip of land separating the Atlantic from the Pacific has been repeatedly manifested during the last half century. . My immediate predecessor caused to be negotiated with Nicaragua a treaty for the Construction, by and at the sole cost of the United States, of a canal through Nicaragua; territory and laid it before the Senate. Pending the action of that body thereon, I: withdrew the treaty for re examination. Attentive consideration of its provisions leads me to withhold it from rc-submission to the Senate THE REVENUE. In a summary of the Treasury exhibit it is sliofvui that the ordinary receipts from all sources for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1885, were $.322,(5iK),70G.y8. Of this sum $1, 6 1,471 ,989.34 was received from customs and $112,498,725.54 from internal revenue. The total receipts, as iriven above were $24,829,163.54 less than those tor the year ended June 30, 1884. This diminution embraces the falling off of $l.Vio,oo0.42 m receipts from customs and $9,17.340.97 in receipts from internal revenue. The total ordinary expenditures of the government for the fiscal year were $200,220,935.50, leaving a surplus in tho Treasury at the close of the year of $03, 403,771.27. This is 0,929.854.32 less than the surplus reported at the close of the previous year The fact that our resources are in ex cesH ofthe actual needs of an economical administration ot'the irovernmcnt justifies a reduction in the amount exacted from the people in its support. Our govern ment is but the mean;; established by the will of a free people, by which certain principles are applied which they have adopted lor their benefit and protection, and iiisfnevcr better administered, than when the peoples taxation for its support is scrupulouslv limited to the actual ne cessity uf expenditure- and distributed according to a just aud equitable plan. lft:ril?CTION OF THE REVENUE. One pi-oposiTion with which we have to deal is a reduction of the revenue received by the general government, and paid by tho people from custom duties. The question office trade is not involved, nor is there any occasion tor a general discus sion of the wisdom or expediency of a protective system. Justice and fairness indicate that in any modification of our present laws relating to the revenue, the industries and interests winch have been encouraged by such laws, and in which our citizens have large investments, should not oe ruthlessly iniured or d est roved. We sho Id also deal with the subject in such a planner s.s to protect the interests of Amojrican labor, w hich is the capital of our woj-kiugmcn. Its stability and prop er remuneration furnish the most justifia ble pretext lor a protective policy. v lthm these limitations a certain re duction should be made in our customs revenue. The amount of such reduction haying been determined, inquiry follows,. where can it be-1 . he remitted and what articles can best be released from duty in the interest ot our citizens. WHERE REDUCTION SHOULD BE MADE. I think the reduction should be made in the revenue derived from tax upon the imported necessaries of life. We thus di rectly lessen thehftost of living in every family in the land, and release to the peo ple in every humble home a large meas ure of the rewards of frugal industry. SILVER COINAGE. Sinco February 1875, the government has, under the compulsory provisions of tho law, purchased silver bullion and coined the same at the rate of more than two millions of dollars every month. By this process up to the present date $215, 759,431 of silver dollars have been coined. A reasonable appreciation of the dele gation of power to the general govern ment would limit "its exercise, without ex press restrictive words, to the people's needs and the requirements ot the public welfare. Upon this theory-the authority to "coin money" given to Congress by the constitution, if it permits purchase by the government of bullion for coinage in any event, docs not justify such purchase and coinage to an extent teyoud the amount needed for a sufficient circulating medi um, The desire to utilize the silver product ofthe country should not lead to the misuse or the perversion of this power. Necessity for such an addition to silver currency of the nation as it is compelled by the silver coinage act, is negatived by the fact that up to the present time only about fifty millions of silver dollars so coined have actually found their way into circulation, leaving luore than one hundred and sixty-rive million iu possession of the govern ment, the custody of which has entailed con siderable expertise for tlie construction of vaults for its deposf. Against this latter amount there are; outstanding silver certificates amounting to to 4'oat ninety three millions of dollars. Evenr month millions of gold in the public treasury are paid out for two millions or more of silver dollars, to be added to the idle mass already accumulated. f continued long enough this operation will result in the substitution of silver for all the gold tiae government owns applicable to its general purposes, it will not do to rely upon thi: custom receipts of the government to make gopd this drain of gold, because of the silver thus coined having been made a legal tender for all debts and dues, public ami private. At times during the last six tnonthis 58 per cent, ot'the receipts for duties have been in silver or silver certificates, while the average within that peniod !ia been 20 per cent. The proportion of silvtr and its certificates received by the (lov- erument will probahry increase i tone goes on for the reason that the nearer the period an m l . 1 1 a. ' praches wiien it will be obliged t oiler silver! tin pjiymcnl of its obligations the greater the in-' ducenieut wHl be to hoard gold against the de preciation in the value of silver or for the pur pose of speculating, This hoarding of gold has already begun. Continued in next paper. The Blair Bill. Montgomery (Ala.) Dispatch. Pem. Everybody is familiar with the genial old fraud Col. Mulberry Sellers, who a lew years ago "went in for the old flag and an appropriation, His grandest scheme Was a great national university for the educa tion ofthe freedinen, in which he enlisted all the patriotic and philanthropic states men at Washington. It was generally sup posed that he was entirely a product of Mark Twain's imagination, a gross satire upon the men and methods of the recon struction era, but iu truth Col. Sellers is still a live man at the national capital. But his big scheme pales into insignificance by the side of the great fraud known as the "Blair Bill," which derives its name from the Christian statesman of New Hampshire, whose heart bleeds for the poor illiterates of the South. The general feat ures of the bill are well known. It pro vides, in short, for the distribution of the surplus revenue, something over $100,000, 000 among the States for educational pur poses, according to the ratio of illiteracy. A most beneficent gift from the general government to the Sou t h I bo generous that it could only have originated in the bosom of New England manufacturers, whose whole lives are spent in tearful prayer tor the moral and intellectual enlightenment of their poor ignorant southern brethren and for the protective tariff. In the mean time who is to foot the bill ? Where does the surplus come from which it is propos ed so liberally to bestow upon the poor il literates? It must come from somewhere, and it is hardly necessary to say that these philanthropists have no idea of taking it out of their own pockets. On the cont-ary, it is a device to odd to the sums which they have already filched from the farmers and laboring men of the country. Before it can be distributed it must be" collected by taxation, and though these taxas are so insidiously laid that the Southern farmers never know when they are paving them, they will soon realize that they pay the piper, if thev will but consider for a mo ment that iu order to keep up the surplus they are charged an average o 42 per cent, additional upon every article which they use. Ou most articles it is more than this, on manv it amounts to more than 100 per cent.; and, in fact, the agricultural South anil West contribute more than four-fifths to the needless surplus which is exacted iioni the people, not lor the neces sary expenses ofthe gov -in in cut, but simp ly to shut out competition. There ihust be found some way to disjiose of it aiid the protectionists have devised the Blair bill as the most likely to deceive their victims, first robbing them of their mouev and then returning a small portion of it with a great nourish or generosity. Congress has no right, under the consti tution, to distribute money foi educational purposes any more than it has the right to levy taxes for the sake of protection, and though we arc not disposed to scrutinize too critically its power of disposing, at least until the appropriations between the sections are somewhat nearer equal, yet there are legitimate and const it tit ioual channels enough which these might take without being wasted iu a scheme of this kind, unauthorized and extravagant. It is too late now to discuss the policy of tax ing one man to educate the children of an other. But education is a matter which certainlv does not fall m . within the province of the general govern ment it has too many otlice-holders, it has assumed too many of the functions of the State already. Nor, in fact, is there any prospect of lessening the burden of taxa tion by the grand gift distribution which it proposes. Let it leave the money at home and there will be no need of Federal aid, which at last would be only what was left ofthe money paid in taxes by the peo ple of Alabama after the protected monop olists and the agents charged with its col- ectipn and distribution had received the larircr portion.
